i have a e-99 with a 20oz tank remote coil dye ultralite barrel and electric hopper

RecommendedUpgrades:

the biggest upgrade you can get is a new barrel i reccomend any DYE barrels just because they are the best you can get and not leave a gapping hole in your wallet

Strengths:

*shoots 13 bps

*cool looking gun

*reliable hasny let me down yet

*electronic trigger

*dip switch easy to change mode of fire

*gun is light and durable

*made by kingman

*cheap havnt seen it pass 180$ the lowest ive seen one go for is 130$

Weaknesses:

the bolt scratches a little easy but who really cares if your an extreme p8ntballer your stuff is going to get a little battle worn

Conclusion:

this is a great marker for anyone it is reliable cheap and you dont need to do alot to the gun to make it good just a new barrel like a DYE and the stock barrel is still pretty good so you might not even need that DYE this is a great gun for anyone.

Spyder TL plus- pretty much the same but not full auto, i like it b/c it is lighter
tippmann custom 98- i didnt like this gun other than the fact u never had to clean it
brass eagle samurai- this gun was really bad until my dad fixed it up

out o fthe box this marker performed better than all of my friends tippmanns spyders and pirahnas, but u can really fix it up with a new barrel (get the freak not the all american if u can afford it), u definitely need an x chamber for this gun b/c it freezes( dont get the 32 degrees b/c the stupid thing swivels and doesnt lock in place) Also a revvy is a must on even the 3 round burst or paint will get lodged in ur bolt

Strengths:

For around $150 you can't beat the quality. The esp frame itself is worth $90. This gun is very accurate and consistent. It is really fast and doesn't chop balls very often.

Weaknesses:

Well the trigger frame is mad for giants buut that can be dealt with. I dont like how heavy it is either compared to the tl plus. I have a lot of electronic grip problems so i had to buy a semi frame. But i ordered a new battery to hopefully fix teh problem.

Conclusion:

This gun worked flawlessly until i had esp problems, but that is another story. The gun is cheap and performs really well. You really can't go wrong with this product. I still give it a 10 b/c the problems are minor and can be dealt with, and it is teh best gun i have ever used.

New barrel, the stock isn't that great. You'll also ned a new bolt, it scratches up pretty badly on the field after a few uses. 12v revvy, maybe a new expansion chamber, the mini one is a little weak.

Strengths:

This gun is my first electro, seeing that it's cheap, it's not the perfect electro. one can't rely on it for over 100ft, it just shoots like crazy then. I've seen some differences between the black and blue one, since the barrel is different, but then again, all guns are different, and I only compared mine and a friend's. The black one was a little more accurate. This gun is quite heavy compared to others, but the fore grip is very comfortable. I haven't had a ball break yet, and I've shot thousands of rounds through.

Weaknesses:

It's really durable and reliable, but you should change the view of the parts in the handle to the full plate one so your e grip doesn't get messed up with dirt or water.
You don't need a revvy unless you'll go full auto, which most fields don't allow.
As I said before, the bolt gets scratched up pretty badly.

Conclusion:

This is an okay electro, don't expect too much from it. It's great for beginners, and won't chop on you. It's extremly reliable and turns a few heads. Get this gun if you're looking for a unique and powerful yet cheap electro.

a electronic hopper is a must for a sure and a afterstock barrel is very nice to have

Strengths:

this gun is fast as crap on full auto and 12v revy will stay with it, also the stock barrel isnt that bad but i got a new one, this is a ver accurate gun, takes a while to get used to from a semi but after a few weeks you love it, love this gun worth every dollar, can get it for $150 on a good deal, battey is not hard to take care of at all

Weaknesses:

only one thing but not to big of a deal is that the switches are hard to change if you were to try during the middle of a game

Conclusion:

great gun, if this is in your price range great gun to buy for the money

-new cocking bolt, paint wears off of it
-nitro tank (i bought one for $80)
-barrel

Strengths:

ive shot about 1000+ rounds and have broken only about 3 balls (on full auto because velocity and ROF were too high). VERY easy to clean and maintain, you could strip it while on the field as well. stock barrel has fair accuracy, but not all that great. works good on co2, but nitrogen makes a HUGE difference. buy a nitro tank for $80 and you're set. firing modes are great, hard to change on the field, but you can manage it. i reccomend you do not shoot at full auto over 10BPS, or you will most likely break a ball

Weaknesses:

freezes easy in the winter, bolt scratches. theres nothing thats bad about this marker, just normal minor things that can go wrong.

Conclusion:

great gun. best gun out there for the money. outshoots many tippmanns and even some other electro markers. great gun, many upgrades available. go buy it

New barrel and possibly a bolt. I would not use co2 unless you have too. CO2 works great with the gun but can also damage it over time, Electric hopper.

Strengths:

There is so many good things I will only touch on the basics.
Rate of fire is as good as any eletronic gun and better than most.
Accuarcy is pretty good for a stock barrel.
Doesn't take much air to work the gun.
It will hold its own in a battle against other high end markers.
It is well built and easy to disassemble.

Weaknesses:

Stock barrel, gun is kinda loud and maybe a few other nit picking stuff that only I may notice.

Conclusion:

This gun was only to be used as a back up. I wanted to test it and I feel in love with it after the first shot. This gun doesn't use much air and it has a awsome rate of fire. I tell anyone who is looking for a lower end gun that the spyder E-99 is one of the best on the market. Buy it you won't be sorry. I have guys that use angels and cockers at my field and I take them out all the time with my 300 dollar spyder. So in closing this gun rocks for 300 (includes tank).

-Fast Fast Fast
-If you chop it recovers w/ in 4 shots
-Dip Switches are easy to change
-Very easy to take apart
-Requires no tools to take apart (well maybe a screw driver)
-Its an electro and people like to hvae electros on their team

Weaknesses:

-Barrels kinda loud
-Gun is a little heavy at times but you won't even notice it

Conclusion:

This gun is a great buy. I have only been playing on and off for a year but this really bring up your confidence when you take this to the feild. Fast firing!!!

This marker shoots fast
It has many rates of fire (big deal, because they are not allowed at most reputable fields anyway)
It looks OK
You can use it to scare off the crows from your garden because it is so loud.

Weaknesses:

The grip is too thick (feels like you are holding a brick)
Velocity spikes way too muck (spring kit needed)
Stock barrel is REAL bad
CO2 causes ball breaks (have to have nitro)
Battery dies very quickly
bolt scratches easily
DIP SWITCHES are hard to remember which combination changes which rate of fire
Can't switch rate of fire during a game
Have to have a tool to reach the dip switches
Comes with no regulator. There goes another $50-$120 to upgrade
Jams when rapid fires
Grips feel very cheap (plastic)
drop forward is too short. You might as well not have one.
have to use a plastic elbow to connect the hopper to the marker.
you have to oil it a lot to keep the bolt from sticking

Conclusion:

I bought an e99 because of all of the reviews below me. They all praised it as "The best electro Spyder makes." I think I would rather play with a Brass Eagle Talon than the e99. At least I would feel safe that the gun would shoot when I pulled the trigger. I have an Imagine, which is a similar marker to the e99. I want to know how Kingman can make such a good marker in the Imagine, and turn around and make the opposite in reliability with the e99?????
